AUCTeX can't possibly know about what slaves belong to a master
document.  However, I don't think it actually needs to know that, does
it?  I'd think that all the relevant stuff should be in the master
document (which is supposed to contain the document preamble, isn't
it?).

But I don't really know this well.
